How they read
In their own wordsHollywood Gold 279 is a deep ochre yellow from the Benjamin Moore Classics collection. Benjamin Moore describes it as a colour that "bathes a room in sumptuous warmth" and gives an LRV of 40.45.
Sudbury Yellow is an ochre-gold named for the staircase at Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire — a yellow with enough earth in it to feel historic rather than sunny. It is warm, saturated and surprisingly easy to live with, because the ochre keeps it from ever turning acid.
